Hummus: so easy to make, so easy to eat!

It's been a busy few weeks, but I finally have something blogworthy to post! 


I made a small batch of hummus to go with dinner tonight, and I realized that some people might not know how incredibly easy it is to make. Many people probably don't know that hummus comes from chickpeas/garbanzo beans, either. In other words, it's good for you! (Depending on what you add to it.) 


I don't have step-by-step pictures for this post because, well, I was hungry. And when I'm hungry, I ain't got time for that. Tonight, I made Ranch Hummus, which is the recipe below. However, hummus is extremely versatile which means you can season it however you like.

Ranch Hummus

1 cup cooked chickpeas/garbanzo beans*

1/2 tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil

2 tbsp. Fat Free Ranch Dressing

Put all ingredients into a food processor.

Process until smooth and creamy.

Eat until your heart is content.

*You can use canned chickpeas/garbanzo beans, but everything tastes better and is better for you when fresh!

How easy was that?! Regular hummus is just as easy. Replace the Ranch Dressing with 1/2 tbsp. more Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 1 clove of garlic and a dash of salt.

I used mine as a spread on Black Bean Burgers. You can eat is as a dip, a spread, or with a spoon. I would also like to pose this question: kale chips, where have you been all my life? Tonight was my first time making these scrumptious bites of magic. If you haven't tried kale chips, then you are totally failing at everything. Try them, now. And dip them into your homemade hummus. You're welcome.
